Interests:
I love cooking! You can always find me whipping up something new or trying out a new restaurant. I also enjoy planning events and bringing people together.
Favourite Memories of the Couple:
My favourite memory of Adeife was when she was my roommate. From our late night chats to exploring Toronto, it was a great couple of weeks. For Tobi, my memories with him involve us engaging in deep conversations and he imparting his wisdom to me. I'll also never forget watching him (perfectly) rap every word to Hate It Or Love It by The Game featuring 50 Cent at Karaoke.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I am excited to witness the continued love story God is writing for you both. I’m also excited to finally see Adeife’s wedding dress and to see everyone on the dance floor. Let’s just make it short; I am excited for every part of the wedding day and marriage.
Interests:
I enjoy watching and playing tennis, dancing to my favorite Afrobeats songs, eating my favorite foods in my downtime, and being around the people God has blessed me with.
Favourite Memories of the Couple:
My interactions with Adeife always leave me with a new appreciation and insight to the woman that she is. However, the one memory that stands out to me was the moment we first met. We met at a youth Bible study. During the discussion, we came to realize the many similarities we shared. From that initial interaction and understanding of each other, our relationship has blossomed into a sisterhood. My favourite memory of Tobi is the prayer we shared at the Oasis of Light 2016 youth retreat. At the time, I felt as though the world was on my shoulder. Tobi was there to not only listen, but to pray and inspire me.
Looking forward to the Wedding & Marraige:
I am looking forward to the wedding day running smoothly. Most especially, I’m looking forward to the dancing with the rest of the Bridal Party. As for the marriage, I am looking forward to seeing God continually bless you, Adeife and Tobi, and for His grace to manifest in every aspect of your lives.
Interests:
I enjoy reading and blogging my life experiences. I aspire to, one day, explore and travel the world.
Favourite Memories of the Couple:
I have known Adeife and Tobi for over 17 years and I could not be more overjoyed that they are getting married. Adeife and I met in church. Our siblings bonded over an episode of “The Simpsons” (something along the lines of short shorts and Bart Simpson). From that moment on, Tolu, Adeife and I were pretty much inseparable. We’ve had a number of memories: going to Six Flags Darien Lake, designing our own website titled La Pe Fe (for Ayotola, Tolulope, Adeife), countless church presentations, being on Student Council (Adeife was a wonderful president, in case you’re wondering), being a part of Humanity First, sleepovers, birthday parties and so much more. We’ve had belly-aching laughs as we caught each other walking to school, late to one of our classes, and cried together, breaking down at powerful Redemption House youth retreats. Adeife, you know I will be always be proud of you. You are the perfect balance of beauty and brains, sporty and stylish, and a true woman of virtue.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
When I look at Adeife and Tobi, I see two people who wholeheartedly love the Lord and each other. I know this a union that will glorify the Lord and they will use this bond to serve Him. Adeife and Tobi, I am in awe of your love for one another. You are both role models to look up to and I am so grateful I can be a part of your wedding.
Interests:
I'm a huge film fanatic. I love writing, storytelling and lip syncing to Tasha Cobbs.
Favourite Memories of the Couple:
Everyday life was fun with Adeife – there are too many memories to count! A few that stand out to me, however, are running on the track team with her and feeling like a BAWSE because she made us look good with her athleticism; getting in trouble in Zion class for playing cards; our GoSupermodel phase; laughing at funny viral videos and YouTube skits when we should have been studying; library days (“Mcnaughton Heights”) and first year at University.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marraige:
I am looking forward to the fruitful marriage! You are both beautiful people inside and out, and have a relationship on a solid foundation. I am excited to see you continue to grow in love.
Interests:
I enjoy reading, writing, cooking and traveling.
Favourite Memory of the Couple:
My favorite memory of the couple was watching them perform at a worship event at Iyanu’s church. Tobi played the guitar and Adeife sang. It was so beautiful to see them serve God together. A perfect picture of the life they are about to embark on.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I am looking forward to Tobi’s continual attempt to dance at the reception. I reckon he will be busting a few moves by the end of the day . As a couple, I look forward to how God will grow them and what a powerhouse they will be for God as they pursue Him together. I strongly believe that the best is yet to come
Interests:
My hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, exercising, learning, tackling new challenges, planning/organizing events, travelling - with a purpose. Above all else, I am driven by a deep desire to worship God in all things, to love people like Christ loves us, and to leave a positive mark on the world.
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
I have been blessed with the opportunity to minister in songs with Tobi & Adeife, and because of this, there have been days when we have had to log some late night practice times. There was a worship & prayer event at the church that I attend, and I had invited Adeife to minister in song. As always, Tobi was not too far behind, but this time to my surprise, when it was time for Adeife to get on stage, Tobi went up with her and together they led the church in worship. Watching these two together affirmed in me not the notion of love that is often trivialized, but instead the understanding of selflessness, commitment, and consistency. That memory of Tobi & Adeife as a couple, reminded and exemplified for me Galatians 5:22-23; “but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law”.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I am looking forward to these two powerhouses becoming one before God and those who are there to witness the blessing that is the union of two Godly people. I also look forward to seeing Tobi dance! I know he has been practicing, so I cannot wait to see him shoki or shakiti bobo - to the glory of God. As a married couple, not only am I looking forward to babysitting my future nieces and nephews, but I am also looking forward to seeing, supporting, and celebrating all of the good works that God will use Tobi & Adeife to do. Seriously, watch out for what is to come with these two.
Interests:
I’m a lover of all things art – photography and music. I also sing and love playing the trombone whenever I get the chance.I am a major travel enthusiast who is passionate about living in new environments, meeting unique people and embracing new cultures. Finally, I am a storyteller. Whether it is through a book, movie, cartoon, Youtube vlog, or an Instagram feed, there is a story in everything and it deserves to be told.
Favourite Memory of the Couple:
In 2016, Adeife and I planned a (very) spontaneous trip to LA. We had the time of our lives! One night, however, we found ourselves stranded, having being carried away by the fun of the experience. Tobi, who was in Canada, came to the rescue. Sensing that we would eventually get lost in the City, Tobi sent us directions and ordered us a Lyft! During our stay in LA, we were also the guests of our (then) favourite talk show “The Real”. The experience was surreal and I appreciate Adeife for initiating the idea.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marraige:
I'm looking forward to Adeife and Tobi's future accomplishments as a couple and, of course, all of the mini Ife’s and Tobi’s running around the house!
Interests:
I enjoy blogging, reading, YouTube surfing and experimenting with what I learn, binge-watching shows, exercising (sometimes), hiking (sometimes), going to museums and art galleries. I aspire to expand my blog and to, one day, write a book.
Favourite Memory of the Couple:
Having known Adeife for over 10 years, she has definitely played a large role in a lot of my memories – specifically my childhood memories! My favorite memories were her birthday parties, which I thought were so cool. I recall her always having the newest video game that every 10-year-old girl wanted, and an endless supply of ice-cream (for some odd reason). Some other fun memories were creating choreographed dances, comparing ourselves to Destiny’s Child members (Adeife always called first dibs on Beyoncé), sleepovers, creating our own websites, Adeife rapping every verse on every album that Kanye West ever made (old Kanye, of course), playing online games and having endless conversations on the phone during those long summer days. A memory that I still find astounding was when I took a Physics course one summer and was struggling on an assignment. Adeife helped me complete the assignment despite the fact she has NEVER taken Physics!
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I am so excited to watch Adeife step into this new stage in her life. It has been beautiful watching Adeife and Tobi blossom as a couple and grow in the Word of God. I know God has wonderful plans and blessings for you both. I wish you a marriage filled with joy, peace, happiness and unconditional love.
Interests:
I’m an artist, singer/songwriter, record producer, director and experimental filmmaker. I guess you can consider those my passions. When I’m not doing any one of those things, I’m usually watching films, studying/researching music, art, film or anything that peaks my interest like...Antarctica. I don't have any set hobbies but I have been going to the gym lately, I enjoy working out - staying in shape.
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
One of my favourite memory with the groom, is when we both would use our imaginations to create a very detailed world that we expressed through storytelling. We started doing this when we were very young, maybe around 4 years old until our late teens. That’s about 15 years of solid creative ideas and storytelling I wish we put down on paper. I guess we were exercising the left side of our brains. Some of my favourite memory with the bride will have to be when Kanye West’s 808s & heartless album came out in 2008. We would stand outside the Adekusibe family home in Maple at the time, and recite the whole album together. It felt like total bliss.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
On the wedding day, I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends in one setting, dressed up and excited. These are folks I haven’t seen in years, so it’ll be interesting “catching up” and celebrating together. Of course, I'm looking forward to the food. This makes me happy. I’m excited to visit the bride and groom when they are finally living together - building new memories together in their new home.
Interests:
Hobby: Playing Soccer
Passion: Playing Soccer
Pastime: Playing Soccer
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
My favourite memories of the couple are endless. However, if I had to pick one, I’d have to say that all the time spent with them at church and at other Godly events, watching them grow spiritually and into true leaders in their respective right is at the top of my list. I am looking forward to many more.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
As Tobi and Adeife prepares for marriage, I’m looking forward to seeing the couple dance. From my understanding and what I’ve witnessed, they’re not very good at it, so I look forward to what they’re going to be doing on their big day.
Interests:
I love cars (car shows, car blogs and car photography, if it’s about a car, I love it).
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
My favorite memories with Tobi were our several walks (walking home from Vaughan mills, walking to school, walking to Wonderland), and playing video games/hanging out at his place. My favorite memory with Adeife was when we all went to McDonald’s with the black and white coupons that Moyo had printed from Facebook for us to use.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I’m looking forward to the strides that these two are going to make in future. They are both very intelligent and I’m sure their union is only going to catapult them to greater heights.
Interests:
I would describe myself as an adventurous, athletic and romantic young black male. I have found great joy in coaching basketball as I am able to work with amazing young talent while influencing and inspiring the youth. My hobbies would include working out but I also love baking cookies! I am an advocate for healthy living. During the summer season, I relish the opportunity to compose a well-planned out date. One can expect a day of adventurous hiking, exploring new food joints, and finishing off with Ice cream or gourmet cookies.
Favourite Memories of the Couple:
Among many, a particular story of mine and Tobi’s friendship would include when we got our first big boy jobs… at McDonalds. Tobi wanted these sneakers and with our new found income at the age of 16, Tobi worked harder than ever. Soon after the purchase Tobi wasn’t seen around work often. I remember management would ask me assuming we were related, I shrugged. Of course not too long after, a new sneaker was now on the market. Tobi started showing up more often to work. The point of the story is that I respect and commend any man who sets goals and works hard for them. McDonalds was always happy to give Tobi shifts and welcomed him back with open arms due to his polite mannerisms, his demeanour with coworkers and guests, and his overall delightful presence.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
I’ve always known Tobi to be a determined and focused individual, whether it be sneakers, career or love. I am really excited and honoured to be part of this wedding.
Interests:
My passion revolves around cameras. As a photographer; I like to capture fashion, art, lifestyle, portraits and travel images. When a camera is not in my hands, it is usually replaced with heavy weights, chalky hands, or both. My hobbies include fitness, rock climbing, food, fashion, and expert napping.
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
Growing up with Tobi in high school was such a great experience. I'll be honest, my memory is pretty shot, as I remember very little about high school in general. I do remember, however, the type of person Tobi was when I met him. A clean, polite, genuinely stand up guy; who I’ve witnessed literally and figuratively grow into such a well put together man that I'm so proud of today. I also remember how incredibly slow Tobi eats.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
This is my very first time being a part of a wedding party! I'm super honoured to be one of Tobi's groomsmen, and I'm excited to see him enter this next chapter in his life. I just know we're going to be looking so dapper the day of. I cannot wait!
Interests:
Seeing as I chose a profession in art, most of my hobbies are within that field. When I am not working on a digital sculpture or painting, I am usually relaxing to music or researching some intellectual endeavour simply because I find it interesting. Apart from that, I try to live a lifestyle that is relaxed, and I surround myself with as much positive people as possible.
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
Unfortunately, I did not hang out with Adeife as much as I did with Tobi; so most of my memories revolve around Tobi, Chris, and I running around causing mischief. It's hard to pinpoint one specific memory to share, but playing video games, terrifying games of hide and seek in the dark, and playing basketball where every shot had to be correct because of my crooked driveway, are some of the favorite ones that come to mind.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing both Tobi and Adeife live a long prosperous life together. They definitely are a power couple, and I wish them their best life possible.
Interests:
I love to workout. I take my health very seriously and I aspire to have the greatest physique of all time (no biggie). As 1st Corinthians 6:19-20 states, “my body is not my own and is the temple of the Holy Spirit”; so I gotta take great care of it. I also like to eat. Not only for them gains, but I just love food and love trying out different restaurants. If I have spare time, I like to kick it with the mandem, or play some Fifa (if you'd like to catch an L let me know.)
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
Tobi and I have shared plenty of memories over the years. From Covenant Chapel to Joan of Arc days. One memory that sticks out to me is when we were at Angelyne's rehearsal for her cotillion years ago. She had ordered plenty of food. Pizza, chips, chicken wings, pop, the good stuff (this was way before I became a gym rat). There was also salad at this rehearsal, and I noticed everyone was eating that. I just looked at Tobi and said "why would I eat a salad? I might as well grab the weeds in the backyard, put it on a plate, sprinkle some dressing on it and eat it!" I said that in a Yoruba accent by the way. We both started laughing hard, and still laugh whenever I think of that memory till this day.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
On the wedding day, I am looking forward to the lovely couple officially tying the knot. This has been a long time coming, and I'm incredibly happy for the both of them. God brought these two together and I know He will continue to bless them throughout their marriage. I will try my best not to shed a tear. Oh, I'm also looking forward to "turning up" as well of course. It shall be a lovely day.
Interests:
Football, finding new dessert spots in the city.
Favorite Memories of the Couple:
Adeife selling sliced bread and Nutella during lunch in highschool, and Sunday morning rides to church with Tobi.
Looking Forward to the Wedding & Marriage:
Seeing two people who have shown great commitment in other aspects of their life commit to each other.
